Wow…getting rough down there in CC. 20th St. would either make that one of the Marriotts or the Hampton Inn.

Artie Fufkin

Arlington Cat

I’d use the word “fabulous!”

Did that service include pedicures?

Did anyone think of going over to Nordstrom and looking for them in the women’s shoe department? I mean, they may have had freshly done feet, and they had $1500 in cash; where else would they go?

Pedi

Probably Costco.

Tre

Excuse my ignorance, but what’s the difference between an “escort” and a prostitute?

drax

$500.

j

just spit coffee on my keyboard! great reply!

drax

Don’t ask me how I know.

Josh S

We’ll just assume it was an educated guess…..

Is it normal for men to go to a nail salon for services?

thecharlesriver

Men who are secure with their manhood very frequently use nail salons for manicures or pedicures.

Uh, I don’t think so. They just cut their nails with the closest pair of scissors.

thecharlesriver

The funny thing about guys like you is you would never have the stones to say something to my face if I was in there getting a pedicure…..Instead you choose to be “online warriors” against your own manly insecurities……And that makes the whole thing even more pleasurable.

KalashniKEV

Nope.

drax

Nope, not normal at all, which is why only real men do it instead of insecure cowards.

John Andre

Since many “escorts” appear to be prostitutes operating under another name, what likely happned here is that a customer [“john”] failed to pay after a requested service [quite possibly oral in nature] was performed, whereupon sexual assault [and/or robbery] was alleged against said customer.

thecharlesriver

The victim is obviously a prostitute. However that does not mean that the crime didn’t occur. The notion that the victim filed the report in retaliation for not being paid is complete and unfounded speculation on your part.
